#JUNGWON’s message during his live:
Everyone, there’s something I really feel I need to say, and honestly, this is the reason I started this live. I don’t think this is something we can just ignore and move past, especially since Weverse translations are available now.
I know there are a lot of people who really loved our past, and I understand that. There are many people who still love how we used to be. But there also seem to be many people who continue to deny the current ENHYPEN or refuse to accept who we are now.
Since we hadn’t clearly addressed this before, some people have been saying that we never gave a proper statement, and they’ve continued bringing up the number of members.
Of course, I understand the feelings of those who loved ENHYPEN before. But now… ENHYPEN is six members, everyone. ENHYPEN is six members.
I understand why some people still do things like certain fan chants at concerts because we hadn’t clearly said anything until now. I understand that. But it’s really not nice to see ENGENEs fighting among themselves because of this.
To be completely honest, it also disrupts our performances. It really does.
Now that I’ve clearly said this today, I think anyone who truly likes ENHYPEN and supports us will know how they should act going forward.
I’m going to be very clear because I don’t want to speak vaguely anymore. When people keep saying things like ‘ENHYPEN is seven,’ all it does is cause fights within our fandom.
No one wants ENGENEs to fight each other. The company doesn’t want that. ENGENEs don’t want that. And most importantly, the six of us don’t want that.
So from now on, I personally won’t consider people who continue to stir up these kinds of conflicts to be fans.
Honestly, this is exactly why I started this live.
I came here representing the members. I talked with them, and I’m speaking on behalf of all of us. The other five members feel the same way.
So I sincerely hope this stops.
Like I said earlier, it’s honestly very distracting during concerts. People spend a lot of money and time to come see us. Concerts are expensive, and it’s unfair to those fans as well.
So… I really hope everyone stops doing this.
Now that the translations are available, I think everyone understands what I’m saying.
And just to be clear, I’m not saying that our concerts in Brazil and Peru were bad. They were amazing. They were really great performances.
I’m also looking forward to our upcoming concert in Mexico.
I’ve made our position very clear. I’m saying this as a representative of ENHYPEN. The other members all feel the same way.
Please stop, and I hope everyone takes some time to think about this seriously.
At the end of the day, we’re people who work and perform for ENGENEs, and honestly… seeing all of this wasn’t pleasant for us.

WINWIN Weibo & Instagram Update
Hello everyone, I'm WINWIN, Dong Sicheng.
From 2016 to 2026, ten years have passed. I wanted to sincerely write these words as a proper reflection on the past decade of my life.
Over these ten years, I went from being a trainee to a member of NCT 127, and then a member of WayV. Along the way, I’m truly grateful to have met and gotten to know so many people. I’ve been very fortunate, everyone I’ve met has been warm and sincere.
The photos I’ve taken over the past ten years take up most of my phone’s storage. Every now and then, I come across old photos from years ago. Each one holds a story, bringing back countless memories. Looking back, although there were moments of exhaustion and hardship, and days filled with setbacks, what remains in my heart are even more moments of happiness, gratitude, and joy. Standing in the echoes of those memories, every small yet genuine ray of light has become my greatest source of strength. Every step counted, and together they shaped the person I am today.
I would like to thank every teacher, senior, and staff member at the company. Thank you for your guidance and for giving the young, inexperienced me a place to begin. Because of you, I was able to debut as part of a group, travel around the world, and meet and connect with the people who love us. As an SM artist, I was able to stand on stage for the first time and experience having stage lights of my own. Without this opportunity, perhaps many people would never have known me, and I would never have met so many people who care about me. These ten years will remain precious memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
Over the years, I’ve gradually become clearer about the path I want to pursue. Finding a balance between acting and performing on stage, while dedicating myself to creating works that truly belong to me. After careful consideration and sincere discussions, the company and I have reached a mutual agreement. I wholeheartedly wish SM, every team, and all the members nothing but the best and continued success in the future.
Next, I want to sincerely say thank you to everyone who has stayed by my side and to everyone who has supported me throughout this journey.
For all these years, no matter the distance or where you were in the world, you’ve walked every step of this journey with me and witnessed every moment I stood on stage. I remember every light you held up for us, and I remember how you embraced my imperfections. I may not always be good with words, but I’ve treasured every bit of your love and support in my heart. I hope these past ten years have been a warm, beautiful, and unforgettable memory, not only for me, but for all of you as well.
The road ahead is still long. I will carry everything I’ve gained and all the love I’ve received as I continue moving forward with sincerity. I’ll keep working hard, stay true to my original aspirations, and become an even better WINWIN. And to everyone reading this letter, I wish you peace, happiness, and that all your wishes come true.

hi… 🥺
have you been doing well??
lately i feel like i’ve only been sharing heavy & serious things with czennies, so honestly my heart hasn’t felt very at ease & i feel sorry… but i think today might be my last bubble for a while… so i’m sending this message today with a heavy heart too..ㅠ
i never imagined a day like this would come, or that i’d be saying something like this directly to you like this..ㅠ but as i write this, it feels strange that it doesn’t even feel realㅠ
while you’ve been receiving my bubble, if even just a little you gained strength from it, and if there were moments where my messages gave you even a bit of good energy to get through your day, then i think i’d be really happy, and really really relieved and thankfulㅠ i couldn’t send bubbles super often, but every time i did, i always meant it sincerely and hoped you’d gain strength from it.. 🥺
honestly, when i read your messages, there were so many times i gained strength too, even if you might not realize it. even now, when i read your messages, there are so many moments where i feel comforted and my heart feels warm.
this space called bubble was always fun in that sense & i think i was even happier because you enjoyed it together with me.
but because of that, the fact that my bubble is ending after today might be really sad for you & i’m worried it might make things hard for you, so my heart feels really heavy..
i’ve been working hard on lots of different things. i think i’m working with many different people, in many different ways, and making music! i’m also going around looking for inspiration and experiencing a lot of different things.
i’ll come back to you and czennies soon with a new side of me & new music. i heard that some of you were worried i might retire… i know this is a time where both you & the members might have a lot of worries, so i want to comfort you and be your strength as soon as possible. i’ll really do my best. but not just simply working hard and coming back, i want to truly grow. and i’ll come back with music made from new ways of expressing that growth. you’ve told me a lot that you like hearing my stories… so i’ll try to put more of my stories into my music. i’m also spending this time thinking deeply about myself, finding myself again, and looking for new inspirations to express myself in new ways.
i’ll also prepare a new way to communicate and come back soon. i’m sorry it feels like you’re just waiting… you waited a lot even during my solo album… but this time too, i’ll make sure to repay you with something even better for making you waitㅠ let’s take this time as a moment for both of us to grow, and meet again soonㅠ
it’s not like we’ll never see each other again, but i’ll really miss you. really. i’m not going anywhere, so please don’t be too sad or have a hard time, just wait a little. i’ll come back soon.
thank you so so much for bubbling with me, listening to my stories, always being my strength, making me laugh, and sharing fun stories with me. thank you for always being so kind to me… we’ll meet again soon!
today, tomorrow, and the day after, fighting. 🥺
i sincerely hope you sleep well on all the nights without my messages for a while 🥺
once again, thank you so much & i love you 💚❤️
🗣️ ONLYB, this is your moment 🗣️
Y’all have BEEN talking… now say it with your chest 😭
